A Movie About Writing A Book!

I know I already have written about the Harry Potter books and movies, but last week I had a rough night of insomnia so I browsed through my Amazon instant videos looking for something to get me through the night. I stumbled on this jewel, and I'm thankful I did.



This is basically the story of how J.K. Rowling went from being a single mom on public assistance to a billionaire author. It's sweet and heartwarming, and I think many writers will appreciate her process and watching someone else in the same place you've been; brainstorming, writing for countless hours, and balancing family with getting your words to paper. I think a major difference that can make us all appreciate technology a little more is that she typed the whole first Harry Potter on an old typewriter. Remember those? I sort of wish I had one. I used to when I was younger, and there's something really poetic and nostalgic about writing something that way.

Anywho, that's my post for today, see you guys tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!
